Not bowedGraeme Souness, who witnessed Rangers up close in their thrilling 2-1 loss to rivals Celtic, says he has a lot of faith in the team.
The 72-year-old is also adamant that Philippe Clement is creating a formidable team at Ibrox, but he also thinks more firepower is required to prevent their fierce rivals from winning a 12th Scottish Premiership in the previous 13 years. The manager and former player from Ibrox assisted in hiring the Belgian and was left with no doubt.After assuming his position at Celtic Park last Saturday, Rangers are a growing force under his leadership. Fabio Silva, a forward valued at £35 million, has joined Wolves on loan, and the Light Blues have been linked to players like Emmanuel Dennis.
Although Souness supports the blue team, the adored football icon acknowledges that the atmosphere created by the partisan Parkhead regulars was exceptional despite the absence of any away fans because to the ongoing dispute between the Glasgow giants regarding visiting supporters’ briefs. “What an atmosphere at Celtic Park last Saturday,” he wrote in his Daily Mail column. I promise there isn’t a derby like the Old Firm one elsewhere in the world, and I was there for it. Although Rangers will be unhappy with their 2-1 loss, they performed admirably all game long, especially when they were reduced to 10 men. They had the finest opportunities.”The team has a lot to be excited about, particularly if they can make some additions during this window. They lack two goal scorers, so if they can get those two goals back, it will be all out for them. The way Philippe Clement has assembled his staff, I like it. The way they attempted to play last week was admirable.”
Rangers trail Celtic by eight points, but they still have two games remaining. The two fierce rivals seem ready for an exciting championship race that could go right down to the wire.
